a|state second edition is a glorious full colour hardback packed with amazing art from co-creator Paul Bourne. It’s a high idiosyncratic and engaging setting for you and your players to explore and define at the table.

a|state second edition is packed with art by Paul Bourne. It’s something really special that Paul created visuals for the first edition 20 years ago, and also worked so extensively on the second edition. It’s a unique visual vibe. handiwork.games/games/astate

I was rereading The Machine for astate last night (FOR NO REASON if we play games together). It’s rather good.

We're seeing renewed interest in a|state - it's a really great adaptation of the already brilliant Forged in the Dark rules. In a|state you'll take the role of troublemakers trying to improve their corner of The City, pushing back against the Trusts, organised crime, et al.

There’s no radio in The City of a|state. There is semaphore though.

Love this piece by Paul Bourne in the a|state corebook.

TL;DR: A detailed write up of the experience of running a single game for the full weekend at LongCon earlier this year. Worth a look if you're interested in A|State or the long form convention experience.

Enjoying a cup of coffee in relative calm at my hotel before the last day of UKGE begins (we’re on the GMS booth in Hall 4). It’s been overwhelmingly positive to hear nice things from so many people this year, and it’s always helpful to see our ranges lined up - even now we can’t fit everything in.
